    Abstract: A power converter system includes an auxiliary resonant commutated pole converter leg, particularly an ARCP half-bridge, having a series connection of a saturable-core inductor and at least one bi-directional auxiliary switch connected to a dc-link neutral point. An ARCP controller is provided to control turn-on of the at least one bi-directional auxiliary switch to provide an auxiliary current flowing through the saturable-core inductor, and a saturation instant detector is provided to detect a saturation instant of the saturable-core inductor due to the auxiliary current exceeding a saturation current after turn-on of the at least one bidirectional auxiliary switch. The ARCP controller is responsive the detector to continue providing the auxiliary current and thereby a boost current for a predetermined boost period after the detected saturation instant of the saturable-core inductor to achieve a desired total boost current.

    Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided method for analyzing movement. Initially, information on one or more desired movement properties for a moving element of a mechanical system powered by an electrical machine which is controlled by a drive is maintained in a memory of a wireless sensing device. The wireless sensing device including one or more sensors is detachably fixed to the moving element of the mechanical system. The one or more sensors include one or more kinematic sensors. The wireless sensing device acquire results of a plurality of measurements performed by the wireless sensing device while the moving element is in motion. During the acquiring, the wireless sensing device compares results of the plurality of measurements with the one or more desired movement properties and communicates with the drive to adjust one or more drive parameters based on the comparing.

    Abstract: An industrial automation device with a token to be used as authentication information in information exchange between a first cloud service and the industrial automation device, a mobile device is connected to the industrial automation device and to a cloud service that is the first cloud service or a second cloud service. After authenticating the user of the mobile device to the cloud service, a token is generated by the cloud service to the first cloud service, and forwarded via the mobile device to the industrial automation device. If the cloud service that generated the token is the second cloud service, the token is forwarded via the mobile device, after the mobile has been authenticated in the first cloud service, the first cloud service. Thereafter the industrial automation device and the first cloud service may communicate directly with each other using the token for authentication.
